Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023: CRC and Small Check Webinar

State TANF Program Officials: 

The Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (FRA) includes several key changes to TANF, including a reset of the base year for the caseload reduction credit (CRC) component of the work participation rate (WPR) calculation. Additionally, the law requires HHS to exclude from the WPR calculations certain cases that receive benefits of less than $35 per month. Both changes go into effect October 1, 2025.

Join the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) on August 6, 2025, from 1:30 to 2:30 pm ET for a virtual information-sharing session with federal program staff. OFA will provide a presentation on Sections 301 and 303 of the FRA and the impact each may have on TANF programs. State TANF program officials are encouraged to participate in this timely virtual forum to receive guidance on meeting the requirements of Sections 301 and 303. Please share this invitation with any members of your team who could benefit from learning more about these changes.
